SCHOOL-READY

Our talented early-childhood teachers set kids down the path toward becoming lifelong learners in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment.

Our Programs

Infant Programs (6 weeks - 1 year)

Babies grow and learn every day. Our goal is to provide a safe and nurturing "home away from home" where babies can explore
and make new discoveries. We know that learning through play is extremely valuable at this age and our Early Foundations®
Infant program is designed to give babies the skills that will serve as the building blocks for a lifetime of learning.

Toddler Programs (1 – 2 Years)

As toddlers develop friendships, self-esteem, and curiosity, our Early Foundations® Toddler program will help them explore
their world in a safe and nurturing environment. Our unique curriculum is based on the philosophy that children learn best
through experiences. So each day is filled with fun activities that excite and develop toddlers, giving them the comfort and
confidence to speak those first few important words, as well as make their first friends.

Preschool Programs (3 – 4 Years)

As preschoolers gain more self-esteem, they may feel ready to take on the world. Our Early Foundations® Preschool program
enhances that confidence by providing activities to help children become problem solvers and lifelong learners. Through
independent exploration, structured activities, and hands-on learning, children will work on early literacy, math,
science, and social studies concepts. A healthy dose of running, jumping, and dancing keeps them active too.

Prekindergarten Programs (4 – 5 Years)

Prekindergartners are preparing for the adventure of a lifetime – school. And our Early Foundations Prekindergarten®
program is designed to get them ready by teaching letters and words, math concepts, and valuable social skills. With
small group instruction, independent play in an organized atmosphere, and whole-group activities, children will have
all the right skills to hop, skip, and jump right into kindergarten.

Private Kindergarten Programs (5 – 6 Years)

As children reach school age, our comprehensive full-day kindergarten program helps them explore, communicate, and
create – all in a nurturing, small-class setting. Our team of expert educators has created a unique curriculum of
reading, language, arts, math, science, and physical fitness that’s presented in a fun way to encourage a lifelong
love of learning. Plus, our program is aligned with local and state elementary school standards, so children will
be prepared to confidently enter first grade.

Learning Adventures - Enrichment Program

Cooking

The Cooking Adventures program gives children opportunities to participate in fun, developmentally appropriate cooking
experiences. They will learn about recipes, ingredients, cooking vocabulary, and the importance of a healthy diet. The
curriculum includes lessons on picnics, pizza, and heart-healthy meals.

Math

The Math Adventures enrichment program is designed to teach important mathematics concepts such as geometry, numbers,
measurement, and probability. Your child will learn about length, height, and weight. He will learn about shapes and
solids. He will learn how to add, subtract, multiply, and count money. Math is everywhere and giving your child every
advantage now will add up to success later in life.

Music

Ongoing research proves that early exposure to music helps children think, reason, create, and express themselves.
Children will laugh and learn about rhythm, vocal melodies, and a variety of musical genres and instruments, which
can lower stress and advance memory. Learning never sounded so good.

Phonics & Reading Adventures

Set your child up for advanced success with literacy through phonics, the study of letters and sounds. Reader books,
games, and activity cards help your child understand the basics of vowels and blending syllables, giving him
confidence and command of language.

Creative Arts

Our Teachers

We're the only company in early childhood education to select teachers based on natural talent. Being a great educator isn't enough though.
KinderCare teachers are also amazing listeners, nurturers, boo-boo fixers, and smile-makers. Put more simply,
we love our teachers and your child will, too.

“

My son has been going here since the beginning of the year. This school is very convenient for me, as it is walking distance from work. You need to be buzzed in to gain entry into the school, a nice safety measure. Overall, the school is bright and colorful, everything is nicely labeled, there are family pictures everywhere and, most importantly, the children are happy and well-mannered!!! This is a nice, clean facility, and the teachers are all really nice and easy to talk with.

I want to take this time to express how grateful I am for my daughter’s education. My daughter began at Harbor UCLA Children’s Center KinderCare on March 9, 2010 she was only three years old. My daughter loved going to school on a daily basis and would miss her teachers during the weekend, it means a lot to a parent who has to work everyday and feels comfortable leaving their child with these gentle, loving and educated women.<br /> &nbsp;<br /> The whole staff has been amazing and a special thank you to Ms. Monica in the Kindergarten class. My hat goes off to you; my family and I are extremely satisfied with the style, quality, and consistency you have in teaching young children. Today was our daughter’s first day of school, my wife and I were extremely nervous. Our princess had always been in a smaller learning environment and here she was going, to this huge new school. Luckily, today was a short day and she was going to be off from school early. When we picked her up my wife and I walked over to her teacher and introduced ourselves. The teacher then asked us, what school she came from?” my wife said from Harbor UCLA Children’s Center KinderCare. The teacher then said “your daughter is really smart, keep up the good work and do not stop doing what you have been doing.” As my wife and I are walking through the huge playground, tears began coming down her face she was saying “omg what are we going to do without Ms. Monica, and the rest of KinderCare?…look at how much they have helped us with our daughter. I could not wait to come back to work and tell someone about this incredible experience.<br /> &nbsp;<br /> I whole heartedly know that KinderCare is the best thing that has happened to our family, I truly recommend this school to all my friends and family.
